2020 marks the 9th Australian Tap Dance Festival (ATDF) - Tap is alive & strong!

This year, we are bringing a taste of the festival direct to you in Brisbane - we are committed to supporting the tap industry and bringing you amazing tap experiences.

The event brings together the tap community from across Australia and New Zealand and public to learn, share, meet and enjoy all things Tap. In 2020, we have combined studio, live & pre-recorded classes online to provide access to everyone to experience Tap.

What makes it special?
The ATDF selects a high calibre faculty from across Australia & around the world to conduct a series of tap masterclasses and special events, ensuring there is something for everyone!

The ATDF is the only one of its kind in Australasia.

Are you a tap dancer?
The festival is a once-a-year chance in Australia to experience something different and expand your style and techniques at an accelerated rate, in a highly immersive environment, in a short span of time.
The intensive nature, and access to our faculty artists at the top of their field, at this one place and time, plays a big part in the amazing experience you will enjoy at this festival.
Connecting with like minded people who love tap as much as you do will really give you a sense of belonging and family whether in person or via our online classes.
